Since this seems to be the response from a number of people, it actually validates the 'good dobbie' message at the top - otherwise people won't see it - just as they didn't see the request to fill out the poll. As where the poll itself is, I think the response shows two things, either people commented without looking at the web site - or for those who did actually look -- the understanding we have really two web sites, the public one and the group one. To try to make this more clear, here are the URLs, plus it now says 'HT Live' on the main web site: Main web site: http://www.hidden-tech.net HT Live! Web site: http://live.hidden-tech.net All the new Live! functions are at the Live web site. I leave finding the poll there to you -- hint, look to the right. As for changing it - so far there is a bunch of complaining, and one valid point, relating to email to phone/pda devices, which I have seen myself, and the number that have checked in still have not answered the question nor offered to resolve why the message is there in the first place -- to make sure most people fill out the skills inventory. Furthermore, I have seen about a dozen comments, out of over 500 on the list, if it really bothers people AND people are willing to help operate the web functions - speak up.
